Doubly ionized helium ions are projected with a speed of perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field of magnitude . Calculate the radius of the circle in which an ion circulates.
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
The mass of a doubly ionized helium ion (alpha particle) is .
